...distinctly increasing. There are in the team very few men who are natural winners; almost all have had to reach the position they now hold by the hardest training. When, then, the team goes down to New Haven and by good running wins the games from Yale, it is rather hard for the men to be greeted on their return to Cambridge with hardly a word of congratulation. The team did their best and this lack of recognition on the part of the men about the college cannot but be discouraging. The college has a chance to correct this little...

...last annual report of the college by comparison with previous reports brings out some rather interesting and decidedly significant facts as to the relative amount of time spent in the college on different studies.

As is only natural the most rapid growth, that is, the greatest in proportion to that of previous years is found in the colleges of that part of the country where the need for higher education is beginning to be realized. The proportunate strides which are being made by such institutions as the University of Wisconsin and the University of California are gratifying as signs...
